The teacher would explain that only green parts of plants with chlorophyll perform photosynthesis and liberate oxygen.
The teacher must have answered that the leaves which were red, violet, and brown in color do not perform photosynthesis.

Non-green plant structures, like woody stems and roots, consume oxygen in respiration rather than producing oxygen.
